Lemon Ginger Gimlets are a pretty, healthier drink perfect for New Year's Eve, Christmas, or any winter cocktail hour. Easy to make!

It’s Friday, and it’s 5 o’clock somewhere – can we take a moment and cheers to that? These lemon ginger gimlets are the final recipe that I contributed to our Meals for Me & You feature on Anthropologie’s blog. I’m calling them “Gimlets with a Girlfriend” – so go grab your bff and mix these up tonight. Plus, lemon + ginger = “healthy drinking.”

A lot has been going on this week so, if it’s alright with you, I’m going to speak in bullet points today. Here are links to some random bits that I found delicious and interesting:

Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add the gin, lemon juice, agave nectar, ginger juice, and a handful of crushed ice ice. Shake for 20 seconds, then strain into two glasses. Top with a splash of sparkling water. Garnish with lemon peel.

Notes

*I like this brand of ginger juice, I usually get it at Whole Foods, Central Market or Wheatsville Coop. It lasts awhile in the fridge and it's great for smoothies as well.

I used this citrus peeler, http://amzn.to/1XQiiQZ, to make one long peel (works best on a really soft meyer lemon), then wrapped it around a chopstick and froze it so that it would keep it’s curly shape 🙂
